Abstract: Document recognition apparatus for banknotes (1)
utilises bar codes which are printed in fluorescent ink on
the face of banknotes (1). The bar codes are read by
transporting the notes past a reading station (4) where an
ultra-violet lamp (5) illuminates the notes (1) and causes
any barcoded information printed on them to fluoresce and
be detected by a photodiode (9) sensitive to the
wavelength of the fluorescence. To ensure that the
barcode is read irrespective of which way up a note is
transported, and irrespective of which edge of the note
leads, additional reading stations may be provided. To
help read old and dirty notes, as well as to detect
forgeries, the output of the photodiode may be fed to a
neural network.

Abstract: A sampling circuit which is capable of a full ranging output when
powered with very low voltage supplies, e.g., of about 1 volt, includes a current copier
function added to a sample and hold circuit to avoid the need for low threshold
switching devices in the sampling circuit, thus avoiding output droop due to the
increased leakage of low threshold devices. A pre-charge circuit (100) is placed
between the sample and hold circuit (0A3, M1,C H ) and a current storage transistor
(M3) to 'boost' the voltage level of the output of the sample and hold circuit above the
threshold voltage of the current storage transistor. The pre-charge circuit includes an
output voltage boost capacitor (C S ) which is charged before the hold cycle of the
sampling circuit. The level of the voltage charged onto the output voltage boost
capacitor is based on the threshold voltage of the current storage transistor.

Abstract: A CATV system includes a head-end with laser transmitters for providing television programs and data to a multitude of nodes through a forward optical network tree. The data includes telephone signals and computer communications signals. The nodes convert the optical signals into electrical signals and retransmit the television and data signals through a coaxial network tree to customer interface units (CIUs). Return data from the CIUs is transmitted back through the coaxial network to the nodes. The nodes include filters to separate the return data from the forward signal. Laser transmitters of the nodes transmit the return data to the head-end through a return optical network tree. The head-end converts the optical return signals into electrical signals and routs the return data to the telephone and computer gateways. The head-end includes a controller for controlling the other head-end equipment and for producing equipment control signal which are included in the forward signals to the nodes to control the equipment of the nodes. The nodes include respective controllers which identify the controls signals from the head-end and provide control signals to control the equipment of the node depending on the control signals from the head-end. The controllers of the nodes also identify status signals from the equipment of the nodes and transmit the status signals and a reference signal to the head-end controller for display on a display of the head-end controller. The reference signal allows monitoring that the return optical transmitter and network are operating correctly and allows the return signals from the nodes to be aligned. The status signals from the nodes include laser operation, laser bias current and laser power output for the laser transmitters of the nodes.

the output terminals of the first and second current mirrors for combining the output signals
at the output terminals of the first and second current mirrors to provide the image output
signal. The circuit further comprises bias means (R101, R102) for biasing the input stage to
operate in class AB such that the input stage provides a transconductance which tends to
increase with increasing level of the input current, and offset means (R103, R109, R115) for
generating offset voltages in the first and second current mirrors which cause the gains of the
current mirrors to tend to reduce with increasing level of the input current such that the
combined gains of the input stage and the first and second current mirrors remain
substantially independent of the level of the input current.

displacement mechanism (165, 200, 230, 290, 300) is connected to the nozzle
block for slidably moving the nozzle block a predetermined distance "P 1 " less than
pitch P. Before the nozzle block is moved, the channels are enabled in order to
eject ink droplets (105) which have pitch P for defining a first spatial resolution of
the marks on the receiver. The displacement mechanism then moves the nozzle
block the predetermined distance P 1  to a second position. The channels are again
enabled while the nozzle block is in this second position. Additional marks are
then formed intermediate the marks formed when the nozzle block was in its first
position. All the marks formed on the receiver now define a second spatial
resolution greater than the first spatial resolution of the marks, so that the image
has increased spatial resolution.
